Crystal Palace v Man United Preview

Crystal Palace’s Form

Crystal Palace have been stalwarts in the Premier League since their Championship play-off victory under Ian Holloway in 2013. However, they’ve been remarkably mediocre in the league with 15th (2015-16) being their lowest finish and 10th (2014-15) being their highest finish. That has continued this season with the side currently 14th. It's unlikely they fall further down the table, but a few victories could put them just outside the top half of the table.

Last weekend an 87th-minute equaliser from Schlupp against London rivals Fulham meant they rescued a point at Craven Cottage. It was a fairly even game on the whole with Fulham having 54% of possession, 9 shots and an XG of 1.39 compared to their 46%, 14 shots and XG of 1.05. That draw made it four games unbeaten in the league.

Palace could go level on points with Fulham (directly above them) if they win and results go their way.

Man United’s Form

With 4 games remaining in the Premier League, it remains to be seen whether this will be the last with ten Hag as manager or if he will be allowed to stem the tide next season. A lot may come down to the FA Cup final against City, but in the next few games, ten Hag will be tasked with preparing his squad for that game on the same side knowing anything but a win in his league games makes his job more precarious.

Last weekend it was another disappointing result with a 1-1 draw against Burnley at Old Trafford. However, they put in a largely positive performance with 27 shots and an XG of 3.06 compared to Burnley’s 16 and a total of 1.90. Had it not been for some suspect refereeing decisions, the result could have been different.

Winning is always a non-negotiable at United but ten Hag needs a win more than ever.

Key Players To Watch

Jean Phillipe Mateta – Crystal Palace

The Frenchman is one of their primary threats in front of goal even if he gets less of the coverage that the likes of Olise and Eze do. In 31 matches in all competitions this season he has 14 Goals and 4 Assists. Following braces against West Ham and Newcastle he was scoreless against Fulham but could cause havoc against United if in the mood.

Bruno Fernandes – Man United

The Man United Captain may not be everyone’s cup of tea but when the club has been in a constant state of chaos in recent years, the one man whom United supporters can rely on is Bruno. This year he has quietly gone about his business scoring 15 times and providing 11 assists. It’ll be interesting to see where he’s put on Monday whether that be in his usual (10) position, on the RW or even deeper with partnering Mainoo.

Crystal Palace v Man United Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-2 Man United

Palace are playing for nothing but pride and the opportunity to cause more misery for Man United and the never-ending migraine ten Hag must have with the current precarious nature of his role at the club.

While United drew last time out, their performance on the whole was relatively strong and if they can put in a similar showing they should win although it’s hard to see them not conceding and making it difficult for themselves..

Best Bet: Man United Win + BTTS @ 10/3
